The complainant has requested information relating to a file, listed as ‘PREM 19/355’ about the private papers of the late Duke of Windsor. The Commissioner’s decision is that The National Archives (TNA) has correctly applied section 37(1)(a) – communications with the sovereign, and section 40(2) – personal information, to the information. TNA also cited section 41 – information provided in confidence, but as he found that all the information is exempt under section 37 and 40, the Commissioner has not gone on to consider the application of section 41. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
